    Born in Dallas, driven past this place maybe a million times and finally pulled in today! Started off with the Mongolian grill protein and udon noodles - soy sauce, garlic, Mongolian and volcano spicy sauce was 10/10 Wings - 8/10 not heavy on Buffalo sauce Stir fried green beans - my all time buffet item 8/10 Fried soft shell crabs - 8/10 claws were a but hard to eat , chef should've smashed them a lil Mango jello dessert - my fav, felt like a kid again 10/10 Dinner for 2 $35 can't beat this price for AYCE on a Friday night!

    For the point point and quality this is pretty good deal! We came for lunch on a sat and it was AYCE buffet for $16.95. They seated us quickly during 1pm rush and the inside was super clean. We got sushi, chocolate fountain desserts, and the Mongolian buffet noodles that's cooked on the spot. The sushi was pretty fair for it being a buffet- we got some nigiri pieces and some rolls. the workers were always bringing out fresh food so it wasn't sitting out for too long. For $16 I'd come here again- the food here is decent and affordable!!

    Pretty good deal for ayce - I'd say you get what you pay for. There's a lot of variety to choose from, which I was impressed with. There's even a station where they stir fry for you. Big seating area and lots of stations to get food so it doesn't get super crowded. They had chinese food, fish, crawfish, pizza, sushi, and more. Food was average but that's fine for a buffet at a relatively low price. The experience was good for a lower priced buffet.

    Quality food for the expansive buffet they have. Two highlights were the sushi bar and the habachi. There is a bar in which you can pick out your ingredients the chef will cook to order. There are a lot of options. Cajun bar, Italian bar, Chinese bar, ect. Place was packed but the service was still really great. They persistently came and filled waters, cleared tables, ect.

    Good desserts

    The food was good and the services was good all the workers were nice and stuff was good. I said give us a five star.

    Nice and clean buffet area

    Before my operation, I could put the hurt on a Chinese buffet. Three or four plates easy. Nowadays, I have to pick carefully, because 1plate is the limit. We picked King Buffet because of the great reviews, and they were right. We loved the food. Mike had some of everything! I had some shrimp, mussels, and the octopus salad, which I really, really liked. The sauce used on the mussels was just wonderful. The restaurant and the buffet area were both very clean. They constantly brought out fresh food. There was a nice selection of sushi, and I did have one piece. And of course, don't forget the free ice cream! King Buffet is definitely better than the buffet restaurants here in Abilene. I recommend them, and will definitely be back!

    I'm going to post a review and it says this place is permanently closed?? I ate here so recently!…read moreNot sure this is correct. We went for brunch, which I will admit is overpriced. $75pp before drinks? Wow. Definitely go hungry. Were we mad at it though? Definitely not. There was so much to try, I loved the sushi bar, the kids loved the dessert bar, especially the chocolate fountain. The location is nice and upscale and it's a nice place to go celebrate something. I hope it's not actually closed!

    Went last night to celebrate my birthday. I've always wanted to go to Komodo ever since I moved to…read moreTexas which was 4 years ago. It was my very first time going to Komodo and the first time experience was not the greatest. Before I go into my review, I did enjoy the ambiance, decor and food. The food was actually really good and the portions were decent. I ordered the wagyu beef dumplings and garlic noodles for starters. I initially chose the Peking duck and was super excited to try it. This is where it started to downhill... As we were ordering starters and drinks, the drinks came out fairly quick and the starters did take about 15-20 minutes which I understand it was a Saturday night. After most of the appetizers came out, we decided to order our entrees because we noticed how long the appetizers took. About hour and some time goes by, the waiter comes back to tell me they just ran out of Peking duck. Which was disappointing so I quickly ordered the Korean fried chicken. The timing with how they ran out the entrees was a whole mess. There were two food runners that were confused with the food orders. 1 of 8 of my friends got their food way before all of us, we had waited an additional 15 minutes before 2 more entrees came out. Oh! My second appetizer (garlic noodles) still haven't come out yet and some of my friends had their entrees....My Korean fried chicken came out but it was fairly quickly so I'm not sure they just threw it in real quick for an apology of taking so long. Two of the breasts we're hard and tough to cut. So then we waited and waited for my very last friend to get her Lo mein...it was an extra 45 minutes until she was able to get her food!!!!! Unacceptable. I was so irritated about that and just ruined the mood. We were all done eating our food by then. We were already frustrated and ready to go at that point, but as soon as she got her food, the veggies were undercooked and it was an overall upsetting situation. I wish I had a better outcome and better celebration for my birthday. I would only recommend this place if you have nothing to do..because you will be waiting for your food for a long time. I suggest to eat before you go and by the time you digest, your food will be ready

    Some restaurants serve a great meal. Others create an evening you remember long after the last…read morebite. Crown Block surprised me by doing both. Their recent 4th of July post on IG caught my attention, especially the grilled steak with fireworks, so I made a reservation for Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m. Quick tip: The restaurant is still very busy on Sunday evenings, so be sure to make your reservation several days in advance. The location can be a little tricky to find. After exiting I-35, you'll encounter several intersections and freeway exits with numerous stop signs, so drive carefully. Valet parking is complimentary, and I highly recommend using it. Just be sure to have some cash available to tip the valet. It's well worth it instead of spending 10 minutes searching for public parking and walking to the restaurant. Upon checking in downstairs, the receptionist warmly welcomed me with a complimentary Texas cocktail called Ranch Water. As the elevator climbed higher, the view became absolutely breathtaking. Atmosphere: After another warm greeting from the hostess upstairs, I was seated at a bar table by the window. The sun still filled the dining room with beautiful golden light from about 6:45 to 8:30 p.m., creating a stunning sunset view. It almost seemed surreal that one restaurant could have such stunning views while executing both classic, modernized Japanese sushi and premium American steak so exceptionally well. The culinary journey started with the nigiri. Unlike many other places where Japanese sushi is prepared by Vietnamese or Korean chefs, the sushi here was prepared by an authentic Japanese chef, Kesao, as I later learned from the staff. The sequence of flavors started from the lightest on the left and progressed to the richest on the right. Every bite was full of surprises--the delicate flakes of crispy salt that melted on the tongue, the yuzu, and the other sauces delicately placed on top of the sashimi, along with the Hokkaido uni (and a few other varieties whose names I couldn't identify)--felt like a symphony on my palate that comforted me and brought happiness to my inner child and soul. The entrée course began with the lobster soup, decorated with fresh, aromatic steamed lobster meat and garnished with fresh, unfamiliar herbs. (I wish I knew their names, but the ingredients were way too exotic for an average person like me.) The soup was so delicious that I quietly devoured every spoonful. Here came the rock star of the evening: the steak, prepared by Chef Schlicht. The exterior had an incredible crust with the perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. The knife glided through the steak with almost no resistance. Every bite had a crisp, caramelized crust that gave way to a perfectly tender center. I couldn't quite identify the seasoning, but both the flavor and texture made me slow down and savor every moment until the very last bite. It is satisfying--it simply made my day even better. The fresh vegetables and herbs, paired with Greek yogurt and spices, complemented the steak beautifully and elevated every bite. I chose a dry red wine recommended by the waitress because I was completely intimidated by the three extensive wine menus on the table. She made the perfect recommendation, although I wish I could remember her name so I could thank her personally. The evening concluded with a blueberry yuzu sorbet as my happy ending to the night. It was perfectly balanced. The blueberry yuzu sorbet was like pressing a reset button after the richness of the steak--bright, cold, and wonderfully clean. and full of citrus flavor. The layering of flavors and flawless execution created a dessert unlike anything I've tasted before. The Amazing Mule mocktail was another highlight. It was refreshing, flavorful, and an excellent non-alcoholic option for anyone who needs to drive home. The only aspect that could be improved was the restroom area. There wasn't clear signage indicating where guests should line up, nor was there a staff member available to direct traffic. As a result, some guests waited in front of the elevators while others lined up near the service station, occasionally getting in the way of employees delivering food. As I rode the elevator back down, I realized I hadn't just enjoyed dinner--I had experienced one of those rare evenings where every detail, from the skyline to the final spoonful of sorbet, seemed carefully orchestrated. Crown Block isn't simply a place to celebrate a special occasion; it becomes part of the memory itself.

    We came here for dinner on a Friday night. One thing I want to flag right away, do not walk here on…read morea Friday night. It is not the safest route, especially coming from downtown. Get an Uber or drive yourself. The location is stunning. Views are beautiful, atmosphere is very classy, not loud at all. We were there for dinner and got to watch the sunset from our side, which was gorgeous. They did remove the blinds in the middle of our dinner to open up the views, which was a nice touch. They started us off with a welcome drink, a tequila based mix of something. Not my favorite but a nice gesture. Cocktails we ordered ourselves were delicious. Service was great. Our waiter was very nice, very animated. Personally I prefer to be left alone a little more but that is just my preference, nothing against him at all, he did a great job. The bread was a little stale and lukewarm. For a restaurant at this level that is something worth improving. It comes from a bread station near the entrance on the left side and it was clearly not freshly warmed. Food was very good though. I had salmon with crab stuffing which was delicious. My husband had a steak that was cooked well overall but one side was better cooked than the other and the middle was a little cold. Still edible, still medium, just not perfect for what you are paying here. We both had hash browns which were great. This is not a cheap restaurant and we knew that going in, so the expectations are higher and the steak could have been more consistent. Quality food, quality ingredients, beautiful setting. We would come back. Not an everyday place for anyone but absolutely worth it for a special occasion. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not, the stars reflect that.
